Considering the importance of the iron ore mine, the Japanese troops stationed in the mine received a warning reminder from the peripheral troops and made corresponding preparations. It's just that the defenders of the mine never thought that they would be hit from the air.

The mine, which had been captured twice by the Qiongdao Column of the Eighth Route Army, naturally knew the strength of the Qiongdao Column. In addition to being numerically superior, the Japanese troops stationed in the mines felt that they could hold out for at least a day or two in a frontal defensive battle.

As a result, the third group of Japanese troops guarding the mine also felt retribution when they saw the Eagle Strike Air Force that began to carry out aerial fire strikes on the mine. Once upon a time, didn't they rely on air supremacy to raid and bomb the Qiongdao column?

What surprised the Japanese troops even more was that as soon as the planes that bombed them left, a large number of unidentified armed men appeared outside the mining area. Seeing this scene, the Japanese army, who had no time to clean up the mess, immediately entered the defensive trenches.

"Get into position and prepare for defense! Baga, these troops came out of there, and our peripheral troops were broken through? ”

After suffering two losses, the little devil naturally became much smarter. Heavy troops are also deployed on the main roads in and out of the mine. If the Qiongdao Column wanted to attack the mine again, it had to break through the defensive forces on the periphery first.

But no one expected that the mine troops, who had only received the alert order, suddenly saw a force that they had never seen before. From military uniforms to costumes, the Japanese army in the mine has never seen before. But judging from the tactical movements, at a glance, you can see that it is undoubtedly elite.

Xu Sandao, who led the command, knew very well that the mine in front of him was not easy to deal with, and in order to reduce the offensive casualties of the assault battalion, he immediately said: "Sniper detachment, start cleaning up the targets in the defensive position." Commando, get ready! ”

The first to fight were the snipers of the assault battalion. As the sniper teams began to shoot at the Japanese positions from a distance, the assault battalions armed with small-caliber mortars also began to shell the Japanese positions.

The Japanese troops, who could only hide in their positions and be beaten, suddenly discovered that this group of enemy fighters had never been in contact with before. After each shot, the defenders on the position must fall. Such accurate marksmanship really shocked the Japanese army.

"Yaga! What kind of troops is this? Damn, where the hell did they come from? ”

If it were a European theater, the airborne raids might not be unusual. But in the Asian theater, this should be the first appearance of the Airborne Forces on the battlefield. Ignore the perimeter defenses and go straight to the core. Such tactics really shocked the Japanese army.

But what was even more shocking was the heavy weapons that continued to be dropped from the transport plane. Accompanied by the commando team informing that the assault vehicle had been received, Xu Sandao immediately said: "Commando, get on!" ”

The Marine Assault Vehicle is also a wheeled combat vehicle specially developed by Hu Biao for the Special Warfare Brigade at the Military Factory. Equipped with a large-caliber machine gun and a bezel, it can remotely strike defenders in defensive positions. As soon as several assault vehicles appeared, the Japanese army was completely dumbfounded.

In the face of the frantic strafing of the vehicle-mounted machine guns, the Japanese troops on the position could not raise their heads at all. Just when the Japanese gave the order, the machine-gun fortresses opened fire on the defense. The recoilless guns of the assault team have been fired at these machine-gun forts.

The Japanese army, which thought that it would be able to hold out for at least a day, did not have the slightest power to fight back in the face of the powerful assault of the airborne assault battalion. After the gap was opened, the commandos, armed with a new assault rifle with a capacity of 30 rounds, quickly widened the gap.

Whether it is combat skills or weapons and equipment, the Japanese army that has been crushed even has a kind of horror like fighting ghosts and gods. The reason is simple, all the commandos wearing protective helmets have special operations oil paint painted on their faces.

Such a strange unit, coupled with the first large number of assault rifles, really gave the little devil the illusion of being completely stunned. It didn't take long for all the surviving little devils to surrender, except for the stubborn and stubborn little devils.

Under the protection of the guards, Xu Sandao also entered the mining area smoothly. Looking at the Fusang skilled workers who were gathered, Xu Sandao said with a cold face: "You should be glad that you didn't destroy these equipment, so you can survive!" ”

The skilled workers who heard this also breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that no one had proposed to blow up the mine's machinery and equipment, but many skilled workers were against it. They felt that it would be a pity to blow up the mine.

After being captured, these skilled workers also began to worry about whether the troops who captured the mine would kill them as well. Now when he heard Xu Sandao's Fusang words, he was stunned and relieved in his heart.

For these skilled workers who were dispatched to the Qiongdao mines, they didn't want to pay too much attention to the war. For them, they are here just to work, and they have no right to refuse or rebel at all.

After instructing his subordinates to take care of these skilled workers, Xu Sandao went to inspect the prisoner of war camp again, notified the medical staff of the advance team, and began to examine the health of these prisoners of war. Those who suffer from diseases are also given prompt treatment.

When the POWs learned that it was the Southwest Independent Army that rescued them, many of the POWs said with a confused face: "The Independence Army? I've never heard of it! The Southwest Independence Army, the troops in the Southwest? Gui Army or Dian Army? ”

Listening to the discussion of the prisoners of war, Xu Sandao also said directly: "We are neither the Gui Army nor the Dian Army, the Southwest Independent Army grew up in the Southwest Colony. This attack on the mine was also at the invitation of the Eighth Route Army.

Later, you can choose for yourself, whether to stay here with the Eighth Route Army, or leave Qiongdao and return to China. I just want you to know that the current civil war has not subsided, and even the Japanese army has set off a new round of war.

If you are willing to stay with the Eighth Route Army, you can go there and register your name later. Among you, there must also be liaison officers from the Eighth Route Army, right? This matter will be left to you. If you don't want to stay, you can also go to the southwest first and then make plans.

Many of you were captured by the Japanese army on the battlefield, and you have been loyal to your country. When you get well, if you don't want to join the army, we will also pay you the travel fee and let you go home on your own. In short, you are free and safe! ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Compared with these domestic prisoners of war, most of the rescued foreign prisoners of war wept with joy. Knowing that Xu Sandao was from the Southwest Independent Army and had fought with the allies many times, these Allied prisoners of war were also extremely excited.

And Xu Sandao also said in a timely manner: "Gentlemen, please calm down for the time being, the battle on the island is still going on." If you want to leave, you need to be patient for a while, rest and recuperate! ”

"Thank you, sir!"

In Xu Sandao's view, both the captured Japanese prisoners of war and these Allied prisoners of war can be used to make money. When the battle to recover Qiongdao is over, I believe that the war broker Nuvik will become very busy again.

The Qiongdao Column, which had a multi-pronged attack, received air and sea support from the Southwest Independent Army, and began to regain lost ground. When the Japanese army received a telegram from the troops stationed on Qiongdao asking for help, they were unable to send reinforcements at all.

It's still the same old problem, and there are too few troops to be transferred, and it doesn't work at all. If you take too many troops, there will be problems elsewhere. What's more, in such a sudden situation, how could the Japanese army be able to transfer too many combat troops at once?

While scolding the Southwest Independent Army for being too arrogant, the Japanese army knew that they couldn't do anything to Hu Biao. Hu Biao, who now owns the entire southwest colony, may have become a well-deserved king of the southwest in the eyes of many people.

Coupled with the strength that Hu Biao has exposed one after another, it is indeed extremely fearful of the Japanese army. In this case, in the face of Hu Biao's cooperation with the Qiongdao column to recover the occupied Qiongdao, what could the Japanese army do except scold a few words?

Receiving the continuous good news from the front, the commanders of the Qiongdao Column, without exception, rejoiced. When they learned that the iron ore mines had also been captured by the Independence Army, the commanders were taken by surprise.

"How did they get there? Isn't the battle going on on the outskirts of the mines? ”

In the face of Commander-in-Chief Feng's inquiry, the confidential staff officer who sent the intelligence smiled bitterly: "Commander-in-chief, they jumped from the sky!" There are not many people, but all of them are elite, and they are extremely well armed. ”

"Jumping in the air? What's going on? ”

"Wait! They are parachutes! It's really unbelievable that the Independence Army has trained airborne troops! ”

One of the commanders seemed to know something about the Airborne Forces, so much so that he explained it to everyone. Knowing this situation, Commander-in-Chief Feng also said solemnly: "Such a force is simply impossible to prevent!" ”

"That's right! As far as I know, there are not many countries that currently train the Airborne Forces as a troop. In addition to the need for professional skydiving equipment, there is also a need for a large number of transport aircraft. And training this kind of troops, the degree of danger is extremely high! ”

"No matter how high you are, you have to practice! Report these to Headquarters. If we can train such an elite force, we will have a better chance of winning the struggle against the reactionaries in the future. It's just a transport plane, we don't have it at all! ”

Although some commanders wanted to say, could they ask Hu Biao to borrow the transport plane. But as soon as this idea comes to mind, it will soon be suppressed. In the final analysis, the independence army has helped the column recover the whole island this time, which can be regarded as a great help to them.

Asked Hu Biao again for something as valuable as a transport plane, and they themselves felt embarrassed!

Receiving the secret telegram from the Qiongdao Column, Mr. Zhu and others were also extremely shocked. Through this joint operation, they can really see how strong Hu Biao's strength is. Airborne troops, assault rifles that can fire in bursts, are things that have only been heard of.

It was only at this time that they really realized that the Southwest Independence Army at this moment, in a sense, had surpassed the Nationalist Government in strength. Perhaps this is also the reason why Hu Biao dared not to give face to Lao Jiang.

With such confidence, coupled with the control of the entire colony in the southwest, Lao Jiang, who retreated to the mountain city, could only rely on Hu Biao. Hu Biao, by contrast, has little to rely on the Nationalist government. If you have no desire, you are strong, what can Lao Jiang do to Hu Biao?
